Totally, yes, the intentions behind the words are far more important than the words themselves! That works both ways… As you say, good intentions can lie behind ill-chosen words, but also bad intentions can lie behind well-chosen words!

This is an important message, Diana. Look into the intent of the message first. Education can be done quietly and privately, later, about any offending words that the deliverer of heartfelt help did not know about while offering it.

Reblogged this on A Grateful Man and commented:
I like to believe it isn’t a coincidence that “hear” is embedded in the word “heart.” It serves as a reminder to me to truly listen with my heart. I love your post and the Lincoln quote. Thank you!

Agree so much with your thinking here, Diana, and Abe’s as well. We have gone over the edge sometimes with political correctness, and are losing the heart’s message in the process of editing our words. ❤️ Great post.
